The Other Mrs Jordan – Catching the Ultimate Conman | Preview (ITV1)

This brand-new series for ITV unravels the complex strands of the multiple “other Mrs Jordans” and follows the manhunt led by retired U.S Marshal Tex Lindsay to track down the shady figure who left so much pain and confusion in his wake.

Mary Turner Thomson had grown used to her husband’s frequent and often sudden trips away to far-flung locations as well as the secretive nature of his work, which meant he was regularly unable to maintain contact with her.

She contented herself that these challenges were a necessary sacrifice when your spouse, William Allen Jordan, was a CIA agent working in counter-terrorism in the early 2000s... or so she thought until a fateful phone call in April 2006 from someone claiming to be “The Other Mrs Jordan”.

This is the cat-and-mouse tale of William Allen Jordan – bigamist, fraud, father and conman - and features interviews with Mary and other key figures.

Airs this August on ITV1. Available now on ITVX.
